slimscat.slimscat.generate_screen(nphi=8192, dx=1.0, wavelength=1.3e-06, r=5800.0, dpc=8400.0, r_outer=10000000.0, r_inner=12.0, alpha=1.6666666666666667, ips=10, screenfile='screen.bin')

Generate isotropic scattering screen. Defaults are for Sgr A*.

Parameters:

• nphi – number of pixels in original screen
• dx – pixel scale of image
• wavelength – observing wavelength [m]
• r – source-scatterer distance [pc]
• dpc – earth-source distance [pc]
• r_outer – outer turbulence scale [r0]
• r_inner – inner turbulence scale [r0]
• alpha – power-law index
• ips – image to screen pixel ratio
• screenfile – screen file name

slimscat.slimscat.run_slimscat(isrc, idx, screenfile='screen.bin')

Scatter source image.

Parameters:

• isrc – source image
• idx – source pixel scale
• screenfile – screen file
